I bought a used Blitz Supercharger 2 years back. But it's only for the GT-S model. Ironically and sadly however, I had to sell it in order to buy the car. Which is also pretty funny. xD Got $3k for it.

More of a fan of the Supra Jr. version of the Celica, but I'm glad you got a car you really like.
At this point, rice away, at least you're doing something with the car. As long as you realize you're being ricey and not convincing yourself "I R TEH GREATEST" and bugging if someone jokes on the car xd
Ready to do some stupid s**t to my car finally after 3 years of owning it bare stock (must... resist... buying more guitars and amps for a while). Just... can never bring myself to fart cannons or giant wings.
Or curtains.
Also, no "e" in "Mustang"
Looking forward to pics and seeing how this project progresses.

That's correct no Bentley for me. xD @Ivan Yeah I hate people who buy something crap, add an exhaust and paint job, and think they're the heat of the street. xD I know where I stand in the motor world. Before and after mods are done. @Levis Yeah the BMW was nice. Gotta admit I loved it. But until I'm 75 I don't fit in it at all. xD @Dragon I think it's very fitting for the Celica. Aggressive yet smooth.    The hood.  I can't edit my posts anymore either. ;[

l-VK-l @Dragon I think it's very fitting for the Celica. Aggressive yet smooth. Eh, I don't like it. But, if you do, go for it. The invader kit is just highly frowned upon and immortalized as the ricer's poster child as it were. Plus, to me, it just seems like WAY too much aero for a FWD. But, hey, I'm biased. Just because I don't like it, doesn't mean I won't sell it. If you want it, I can give you a good price.

Granted the invader kit is a pretty "shouty" kid, as Clarkson would say, being so extreme means the car will get better overall down force which it needs being FWD. @_@

I wouldn't call anything a "rice car" anymore m8. The only "rice" is what people do to a base platform. Every car has potential, only the means by which different people draw it out is different.
Unfortunately, some people go backwards more than they go forwards. Even more unfortunately, this seems to be the norm.
This Celica has more potential than most, and depending on how far you want to go it can be quite effective even with the FWD layout.
